The UDDC was once a hub of operations for UD's Professional and Continuing Studies Program, offering evening professional-development courses and customized employee training. As the AAP expanded, however — and continues to expand, with enrollment numbers at an all-time high — the UDDC was dedicated solely to the Associate in Arts Program and now houses approximately half of all Wilmington AAP courses.

In 2017, the AAP collaborated with the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources in establishing the UDairy Creamery Market, UDairy's first off-campus storefront location. Situated right around the corner from the UDDC at 815 N. Market Street, the Creamery Market employs AAP students as servers and interns and provides valuable experience in finance, food science and safety, and sustainable business practices.
